Saturn Ion3 Sedan

Here are the basic stats on the car. It's pretty sweet. Get-Up-And-Go on the highway is awesome, once that overdrive kicks in. It *moves*! But then, gas mileage drops like a rock in the ocean. :-) Heh. I've been tracking fuel economy and it's about 25 mpg in the City, and about 30 to 32 on the highway's, if you're not stuck in city-like traffic.

2006 Ion3 Storm Grey (Dark Grey, essentially)
Automatic Transmission
-- Standard pkg is 4 cyl, 140 hp, 2.2 liter
-- Mine is 4 cyl, 170 hp, 2.4 liter
Enhanced Performance Pkg (Better struts, shocks, suspension, etc)
Ion Travel Pkg
-- OnStar
-- Outside Temperature Gauge
-- Digital Compass
-- Map Lights (in addition to the overhead Dome Light)
-- AutoDim Rear View Mirror (*don't drive at night without this! It's sweet!*)
Ion Sun and Sound Pkg
-- Sunroof
-- Premium Speaker Pkg (4 speakers and 2 tweeters)
-- Single CD / MP3 player, with Line In jack
Interior Basics
-- All Weather Floor Mats (It's messy in Minnesota).
-- ABS / Traction Control
-- 2nd Gen Airbags.
-- White Face Instrument Cluster

Exterior Basics
-- Added Window Deflectors
-- Added Mudflaps
-- Automatic Daytime/Nighttime Headlamps
-- Fog Lights
-- 16 Inch Alloy Wheels

Future Upgrades to possibly include:
-- steering wheel cover (Done)
-- new sport pedals, (Purchased, not installed yet)
-- License Plate Protector (Purchased, not installed yet)
-- xx -- cold air intake (Can't use one on Ion3 for 2006 or higher, due to issues with the onboard computer that regulates it)
-- DVD/GPS/Map/MP3/WMA combo (about $2,000 current pricing)
